White friends, especially white women who did not have an undergraduate sorority experience:

In the coming months you’ll likely see a great deal of content about VP Harris’ sorority affiliation and the support from its members. We 🩷 it. Some info & tips for us: 🧵

Let’s be honest…

People aren’t against #SBG. Why would anyone be against basing grades on learning?

What many are really against is losing their ability to coerce behavioral compliance through the gradebook. They can’t say that out loud but we all know #ATAssessment #sblchat

The 2nd edition of GFE is here! New preface about what the pandemic / BLM taught us about grading, updated research (academic & from Ts in classrooms), refinements throughout the book, + chp on getting to coherent grading systemwide. So grateful to share new learnings & ideas!

I literally CANNOT with folks defending traditional grading by saying it prepares students for the ReAL WoRLd

When’s the last time a teacher got docked pay for late report card comments?

Or could opt out of work with a 0?

Or couldn’t try again after bombing an observation?

We're excited to see our partner @IowaCitySchools improving grading practices to be more equitable! Schools are seeing fewer D's and F's and an increase in motivation among students.😍
We love our work and the positive impact on students even more!

"This PD helped me realize that the main purpose of grading is to see how much the students know, assess their learning instead of assessing their efforts: do they understand the work, as opposed to did they do all of the assignments.” -Cathy, MS Teacher

Please join us in welcoming our first Chief Operations Officer, @MelanyeThompson to Crescendo Education Group!

[Crescendo Education Group @CrescendoEdGrp]

Check out the great work of Iowa City educators @iowacityschools with equitable grading practices! More motivated students, higher expectations for learning, and fewer D's and F's--what an awesome combination.

[Jenn David-Lang @The_MainIdea]

Listen to this amazing conversation with @doughtymike and @JoeCFeldman (CEO @CrescendoEdGrp). It’s hard to believe that we are still so tied to a system that was designed for the Industrial Revolution, but Joe insists that we can do better!
